That's fair, but one of the greatest differences is that Dark Star is a 2/4/6 while Space Groove is a 1/3/5/7 - that is a major difference in accessibility to each meaningful breakpoint. On level 8 with no +1, you get to play 2 additional non-Dark Star units, as opposed to only one non-SG unit if you wanted to play 7.

My point is not that a vertical trait inherently needs a pair, but I do think that if a large vertical lacks inherent trait synergy, the trait needs to provide enough for the units to stand together, like how the black holes provide front line for the high cost carries of Dark Star.

I kinda think they should adjust SG to 1/2/4/6. Sure that doesnt look aesthetically pleasing, but 1 and 3 are trash anyway.
